Sometimes I make progress bit by bit in my paintings and sometimes it just happens like turning a corner. This week was a corner. Not that I had not imagined that city, that street, that corner. I just had not been there yet.

I had wanted to paint in a different style and change my colors up a bit - and off I went!

I tried out some ideas on my iPad.

Then off I went with paint on canvas. House paint, as usual...

Oh, I was having fun now! And it was quite a mental challenge to work on leaving more empty spaces.

Next I tried a different set of colors...

Then I found 3 more paintings that I did a couple of weeks ago that I did not like. So painted over them in my "new" style. All the paintings this week are still in progress.I am so excited to see how they turn out!

Stay tuned to see how these all turn out.I post quite often on my Facebook page!

I have an ancient iPod with about 3500 songs on it and I usually just put it on "shuffle" and go with that.So I decided that whatever song was playing when I was ready to put words on the piece - that is what I would write. This is from a song by Richard Thompson. Cats are not good spellers….
